Re: [Devtools] [protean-dev] Project generation now available on launcher without requiring credentials

Thu, 23 Apr 2020 05:25:58 -0700 



I think that's because the author of that extension seems to have
hard-coded the list of available runtimes:

https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-project-initializer/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L11-L16
That ain't good - if our primary tools accessing this assume everything is static makes maintenance harder :)
Jean-Francois can you take care of open issue and get that worked out on the tooling side ? I'm sure Tako will help out if there are questions about what API's to use - but it sounds like the code here is implemented statically and ignores any additions available. 

Thank you!



PS: That plugin was not made nor maintained by the Launcher team

I think (?) there used to be an api to Launcher. Is it still available?
Yes this is the one that's being used in Project Initializer and JBoss Tools Launcher wizard. But there is no Quarkus runtime there, any reason 
it's only through the Web UI ?

Thanks Max, this is great news!

I think this was the biggest hurdle to adoption of Launcher, so I'm
really pleased to see that the team has been able to reach consensus on 
this. The long list of names you mention attests to how
deceptively complex this change is.

Heya,

We (Naina and Max) are happy to announce that
https://developers.redhat.com/launch/ no longer requires credentials 
upfront to use.

Anyone can now go and generate example projects and download a zip
using many of our middleware runtimes within seconds.
They can also deploy it to OpenShift and at that moment they will be 
asked for credentials.
This makes it at par with the experience you get in VSCode and Eclipse 
using the plugins we have.
These plugins are utilizing the same backend launcher service.
I want to thank everyone involved, Erik Jan De Wit, Tako Schotanus, George Gastaldi, Andy Damevin and Naina Singh to get this implemented 
and especially also Shoubhik Bose, Gorkem Ercan, Adi Sakala, Parag
Dave, Steve Speicher, Tiffany-Emil Jacob and Andrew Rubinger in helping to 
move roadblocks out of the way to make life easier for our users!

Thank you!

Some context:
Launcher as an independent project/product is in maintenance phase and will eventually retire. The work and ideas done in and around launcher are being merged/absorbed into the overall Red Hat Developer experience. The service at developers.redhat.com/launch/ is still alive and also used 
by VSCode and Eclipse plugins to provide Quickstarts/Examples.
We are not adding new features to it, but it is still relevant to keep the examples up-to-date. Currently, that part is not covered by the 
OpenShift Developer experience work in the Developer group.
As we work together across Red Hat to improve our Developer Experience 
we’ll ensure things get better and more aligned.

If you are interested in this topic of Developer Experience from a
middleware perspective please post and/or signup to middleware-devexp 
<https://post-office.corp.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/middleware-devexp>
.
p.s. sorry for the wide net but thought this change was worth sharing. 

Thank you,
Naina and Max
